    Notice the two very dark streaks in the middle of the pic? They must be fairly recent rock falls.

    There definately appears to be some kind of outcrop rock visble.

    That might be a good thing. Maybe Spirit will get a good
    look at layers that it could not reach on its own.

    I might that your earlier mention of fairly recent falls, that fairly recent could be a very long time. In the valley of the San Juan some rock falls that seemed fairly recent to my uneducated eye. But given that pre-Columbian Indians had done things that clearly showed that the fall was far older than I would have otherwise thought. I would not rule out that these "recent" falls are over thousand years old.

    To a geologist, a thousand years old is recent!
    Everything I need to know I learned through Googling.
